Moodle plugins directory: Checklist

Should work fully in M2.7 - a quick test showed no problems.

I added the plugin folder to /grade/checklist but it is not recognized. Is this the proper location? I'm running 2.6.3. I would install it automatically but can't figure out what to do to make the folders writeable (and which ones) - they're 775 right now, shouldn't that work?

Edit - I added it to grade/export folder and still doesn't work.

grade/export/checklist is the correct location. It works there on all Moodle sites I've tried it on.

Any suggestions for how I can get Moodle to recognize it's there? It says missing from disk when I go to notifications. Last change log entry is * 2012-07-07 - Tested against Moodle 2.3 so this is the latest version of the plugin I take it...

If it needed any changes to work with later moodle versions, I would have made them before updating the 'compatible' version number.

All the times I've installed it, the process was: put the files in the right place, login as admin, visit the front page. If that doesn't work, then check all permissions, to make sure your webserver can read / execute all directories.

Strangely, it finally recognized it and prompted update. So good to go.

We wil be trying this with 2.8+ this week. Can anyone confir,m that it works with this version?

I can confirm that it works with 2.8, apart from the 'auto check-off' feature, which does not work if you have activity completion tracking off and have switched over to the new logging system (default for Moodle 2.8). This is because the log data is written to a different table and I've not switched over to using this yet.

I have, however, not tested every feature fully (there are a lot of settings!), but I hope to write some automated testing at some point, to make upgrade testing a little easier.

Is it compatible with version 3.xx? TIA

Probably - what happens when you try it?

Anything Dinis?

We use checklists a lot and have several checklists with comments. Is there any way that these comments can also be exported when the checklists are exported?
Many thanks

Hi Sue - that is certainly something that I could look at developing, but I'm not sure when I've got a spare evening to do so (I had hoped to do a bit of 'hobby' Moodle dev over Christmas, but that didn't seem to happen).

Thanks Davo, it would be really useful but I am aware that you are developing this in your spare time now. Very much appreciated
